Man In Motion World Tour

Inspired by the dream of creating an accessible and inclusive world and finding a cure for spinal cord injury (SCI), Rick Hansen set out on a journey that would make history in 1985—the Man In Motion World Tour (MIMWT).

For 26 months, he and his team wheeled over 40,000 km through 34 countries raising awareness about the potential of people with disabilities, creating accessible and inclusive communities, and finding a cure.

While the MIMWT ended in 1987 in Vancouver, Rick’s lifelong journey to make a positive difference in the lives of others was just beginning.
